Alexander Hamilton started Bank of New York in 1784. The Mannhattan Company received its charter in an unusual way, through Burrs’ political connections in New York. Being a former congress man and vice president as well as other prominent positions, he sponsored abill through the New York assembly that established the water company which in turn allowed the creation of a bank.

The selected underwriter, Chase Manhattan Bank, needed to raise HK$3.3 billion of non-recourse bank loans for construction and working capital of the project. Problem: The key concerns facing Chase were whether to bid at all, how to bid and how to structure the syndication to meet the borrower’s needs and its own profit objectives and the market’s expectation for an attractively priced credit. And also the participants of the syndicated loan must be identified. That is, whether to pursue a sub-underwriting and if so, whom to invited.

Its major heritage firms — J.P.

...History A former American holding company, Chase Manhattan Corporation’s roots were planted during the final days of the 18th century in New York. During this time, after an epidemic of yellow fever the New York state legislature chartered the Manhattan Company to build a water supply system to bring clean water to the state. Because of the surplus of capital, some $2 million, the directors voted to use those funds to open an office of “discount and deposit”. On September 1, 1799, the Bank of the Manhattan Company was founded by Aaron Burr and opened in a house on 40 Wall Street. Over the next few years, after the success of its waterworks, the company sold the waterworks and retained its focus solely on banking. Growth was steady over the years, but its expansion took off after the onset of the 20th century. In 1918, the company acquired its first branch office after a merger with the Bank of the Metropolis. Two years later, it merged with the Merchants’ National Bank of the City of New York and then the International Acceptance Bank, Inc in 1929. This merger noted the banks future in foreign trade financing. The Chase National Bank was organized September 12, 1877, by John Thompson, who named the bank in honour of the late U.S. Treasury secretary Salmon P. Chase although Chase had no connection with the bank. Chase National’s growth was phenomenal, and by 1921 it had become the second largest national bank in the United States, without any mergers. After that year the bank...

Evaluate the rationale for the merger After a period of record number of bank failures during the 1980s, the Banking Industry entered a period of record profits in the 1990s. Also the industry saw a large number of bank mergers that pointed out a new trend, leading to more concentrated and bigger banks holding a majority of total banks assets. Following this trend a Chemical/Chase merger became attractive. By accomplishing this merger Chase Manhattan would grow to the largest bank of the USA and the fourth largest in the world, which would sum up to total assets of $297.3 billions, a market capitalization of $22.9 billions and shareholder equity of $7.3 billion. A clear rationale for merging was the elimination of overlapping business activities, which would lead to massive cost savings of $1.5 billions per annum. This would be achieved through a reduction...

...Case Study: Chase Manhattan Bank Chase Manhattan Bank The workload in many areas of bank operations has the characteristics of a nonuniform distribution with respect to time of day. For example, at Chase Manhattan Bank, the number of domestic money transfer requests received from customers, if plotted against time of day, would appear to have the shape of an inverted-U curve with the peak reached around 1 P.M. For efficient use of the resources, the manpower available should, therefore, also vary correspondingly. A variable capacity can effectively be achieved by employing part-time personnel. Since part-timers are not entitled to all fringe benefits, they are often more economical than full-time employees. However, other considerations may limit the extent to which part-time people can be hired in a given operating department. The problem is to find an optimum workforce schedule that would meet manpower requirements at any given time and also be economical. Some of the factors affecting personnel assignments can be listed 1. By corporate policy, part-time personnel hours are limited to a maximum of 40 percent of the day's total requirement. 2. Full-time employees work for eight hours (one hour for lunch included) per day. Thus, a full-timer's productive time is 35 hours per week. 3. Part-timers work for at least four hours but less than eight hours and are not allowed any lunch break. 4. Of the full-timers, 50 percent go out to lunch between 11 A.M. and 12...
